MAC Unsung Heroes: Sweet Satisfaction Pro Longwear Eyeshadow

December 10th, 2011 by Karen 18 Comments

If you’re looking for a MAC neutral to wear with your smokin’ hot red lips but want a break from old standbys like Ricepaper, Shroom and Brule, consider MAC’s relatively new Pro Longwear Eyeshadow in Sweet Satisfaction ($20).

Easy to blend and very forgiving when it comes to application, this pigmented neutral beige gets a lot of love from many beginners and busy gals alike. As with many neutrals in the beige family, it’s not too far from my natural skin tone, and so I don’t have to work too hard at blending out the edges. Often I’ll just pat it on with the closest eyeshadow brush and quickly smooth out the edges with a finger.

If you haven’t tried any of the MAC Pro Longwear Eyeshadows before, I think you’re in for a treat. They launched last fall with the MAC Styledriven collection and now live in the permanent line.

I think of them as softer, shinier, more pigmented versions of MAC’s Veluxe Pearl shadows, which I also think are great. Light on fallout and heavy on pigment, they command a $5 premium over MAC’s regular eyeshadows, but for that you also get more than twice as much product — 0.11 ounces for the $20 Pro Longwear pans, versus 0.05 ounces for the regular $15 ones.

Aside from some minor creasing, I’ve loved the shades I’ve tried so far, and I hope MAC expands the color selection soon.

Oh, I like to call Sweet Satisfaction my “power nap” color, because when I wear it my lids, I think I look all fresh and glowy, like I’ve just gotten up from a nice nap. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    When I saw the MAC Pro Longwear eyeshadows launch a few months back, I really liked Sweet Satisfaction and it looks great for everyday; however, I was hoping the color was going to be similar to MAC Warming Trend, but unfortunately, it’s not. Warming Trend is prettier and has a more gold undertone to it. I really wish MAC would bring back Warming Trend. =(

    I’m thinking this shade would work well with Nubile paint pot. Or maybe even Rubenesque

    I have 7 of the 16 ProLongwear eyeshadows. But I didn’t get this one. Glad it’s permanent, which I can get it whenever I want to, and whenever I get to a MAC store.

    Karen I am *loving* that eyeshadow! And MAC has free shipping this weekend… uh oh.. :))
    I’m trying to behave because yesterday I scooped up several of the new L’Oreal Infallible eyeshadows, which I’ve been loving ever since they launched overseas earlier this year. I posted pics to my blog yesterday & today I’m going to get to test them out! Definitely adding Sweet Satisfaction to my list in the meantime.

    I like how this shade looks really natural, but it has enough sheen to it to make your eyes look bright and pretty.

    Oh, my goodness. I love this eye shadow! It’s so pretty, flattering and natural-looking that I wear it all the time. It’s a very versatile shade.

    Oooooh pretty!!! Looks so glowy and luminous! I wonder if I can find a duplicate, cause 20 $ = 20 euros at Italian MAC counter, and that really is a lot!
    However I like how the colour seems not to lean too much on the pink side of the spectrum, without being golden, either. Purrrfect neutral shade! 😀

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my almost-three-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my kitty supermodel cat (Tabs).
